The 26-year-old Selekos Jr. still remembers that five years ago it was the funeral of his grandfather Selekos, who passed away peacefully at the age of 81 and went to the stars and the gods of the sea to drink.

For the Ducater family, the grandfather of the little Selekos, Selekos, played an irreplaceable role in the rise of the family. The establishment of the Lego dynasty marked the decline of the Dukale family, and just when the Dukale family was about to be sidelined, Selekos was born and saved the family with a speech on the Selekos problem.

The Duccaus's conundrum speech, coupled with the fact that the Ducaris family was willing to bow their heads and pledge allegiance to the Lego dynasty, gave the Ducaris a chance to get involved in a comeback, and the younger Selekos's father, Selekos Sr., was able to become the captain of the Teassi Harbour from a recent cadet.

Then there was the Battle of Teassi...... This is the scar of the life of the elder Selekos's father, the elder Selekos was still a very young and promising nobleman at the time, but he was captured because of the Battle of Teassi, and he was redeemed with the help of the Portlou government, which brought a lifetime of stains to the old Selekos and made his career quite bumpy.

Because of this, the little Selekos, who used to be the favorite son of the elder Selekos, soon lost the favor of the elder Selekos, and since then he has been depressed and has died more than ten years ago, earlier than Selekos died.

After graduating, the younger Selekos chose to become a navy in the midst of the ridicule of others, "I will get up from where my father fell," was the answer of the younger Selekos in the face of ridicule from others.

Two years after the younger Selekos became a navy, that is, in the year 2052 of the Great Calendar, a far-reaching event occurred in the Bourbon Sea, when Boris accidentally killed the prince of the Lego dynasty while clearing the pirates!

Will the "new era of crisis" give you a chance to get rid of your shame? Little Selekos thought with excitement and apprehension. After all, only if you succeed can you be ridiculed for your choice, and if you fail, then you have verified what others say.

In the year 2056 of the Great Calendar, the little Selekos of Sutra is on a mission in the waters of Teassi as part of the navy of the "Punishment Fleet", and at this time he is full of hope, feeling that he can repeat the great deeds of his ancestors, and that he is about to witness an era and create an era.

The History of Bourbon's Naval Wars, Chapter 8, The Age of Re-Crisis

[Translator's Introduction: In Chapter 8, Hudros introduces us to the last era of crisis before the start of the war, the beginning and end of the new era of crisis, and the situation of the countries before the war. And most remarkably, at the end of this chapter, Hudros offers a novel explanation of the causes of war, rather than the common one of the past. 】

[The "Punishment Fleet" 32 years later, except for the replacement of sea ships and navy, is completely consistent with the "Punishment Fleet" 32 years ago in terms of sailing date, ship type, number of ships, etc., and the meaning of this is undoubtedly to imitate the "Punishment Fleet", and hope to reap the same success as them. 】

[However, the last naval battle of Teassi was a combination of factors that could cause an extremely fortuitous result, and the idea of trying to create a "second naval battle of Teassi" by copying some factors by itself is undoubtedly wishful thinking. 】

[Therefore, when this "punishment fleet" arrived at the Teassi Fishing Grounds, they could not wait for the Portlou fleet to go out to sea to fish illegally, as they had done last time, and after a long wait of several days, the fleet began to become anxious, because they had given them a lot of expectations when they set sail, and it was this anxiety that led to the events that followed. 】

[The "Punishment Fleet" has not yet encountered the Potlot Navy, but it was discovered by a Portlot merchant ship first, this merchant ship is obviously an illegal merchant ship, and it came to the Teassi Fishing Ground to fish in violation of regulations during this season, and as a result, it collided head-on with the "Punishment Fleet".] 】

[The captain, who was already very anxious at the time (I don't know who the captain of the second punishment fleet was), did not think too much about it, and ordered the fleet to destroy this merchant ship, and after capturing the sailors of the merchant ship, cut off their ears and fingers, and put them back in a canoe, as was the practice of 32 years ago. 】

[After the news was transmitted back to Portlou, Portlou was not shocked, but provoked Portlou's strong hostility towards Boris, and a heated debate took place at the Koutumat Palace, and finally the opinion of the main battle faction prevailed, so they sent Boris a stern reprimand. 】

[This is what the envoy of Portloo said: "O Boris of the island country, merchant ships are ships of peace, they are harmless ships, but you have attacked, destroyed, and captured the sailors on board for no reason, so in the eyes of us Portloo, this is a declaration of war against us, so because of your declaration of war, our two countries have entered a state of regrettable war. ”】

[When Boris heard the answer from the Portlou envoys, they were incredulous, because they thought that Portloo would be as soft as they had been decades ago, and they were not ready to start a full-scale war, but after reacting, Boris quickly responded to Portlou's condemnation. 】

["We are incredulous to hear that war has broken out, because it does not constitute a declaration of war at all, but only a conflict of law and order between mercenaries. If you say that war has broken out, then it must have been you who have declared war on us, and then we can only regret to inform you that you have provoked a war, then start a war!"

[The outbreak of the Bourbon Naval War was roughly like this, Portloo believed that Boris attacked the merchant ships as a declaration of war on himself, so he led the alliance on the other side into a state of war; and Boris did not recognize that the act of "punishing the fleet" was an act of declaration of war, so the country that took the initiative to declare war and provoke war was Portlou. 】

[In short, the two countries accuse each other of provoking the war, not themselves, and the controversy over the countries responsible for the war has not ceased until the time in which I lived. 】

[Next, I need to introduce the situation in the Bourbon Sea before the war......]

[Many people say that the reason for the outbreak of the Bourbon naval war was due to an extremely fortuitous factor, and even when I visited the academy, I heard some foolish assumptions that if there had not been a "second Teasi incident", would not have broken out in Bourbon. 】

[In my opinion, these people are extremely ignorant and stupid, Selekos was born more than a hundred years before them, and is not a real enshrinement in terms of legal procedures (Selekos was promoted to enshrinement by the special affairs department), and the level of seeing the problem is better than theirs. 】

[It was made clear in Selekos's speech that fear would inevitably arise between the two powers, and it seemed to me that it was this fear that led to the outbreak of war, and that Boris and Potlou feared each other, so that only by destroying each other could they end their fears. 】

[The "Second Teasi Incident" is just an accident, but it is an inevitable accident under the premise of fear, without this incident there will be other events, as long as this fear does not disappear, war will definitely break out. 】

[What Celecos said is very reasonable, if Portlu doesn't care about Polly, after Boris destroys Polly, there is no doubt that the spearhead of expansion will be pointed at Portelu, and if Portlot unifies the Tenglong continent (west coast), the next step must be to land on Bourbon Island, which has no reason to be alleviated, so the war will definitely break out, it's just a matter of time. 】

"Introduction to the Causes of the Naval War in Bourbon" - Author: Starfall

"When the Bourbon Naval War broke out in the year 2056, many people were ignorant, they did not know how long this war would last, and as for the cause of this war, on the one hand, they believed that the opposite country deliberately provoked the war, and on the other hand, they intuitively believed that the war was caused by the 'Second Teassi Incident'. ”

"However, after the war was coming to an end, Shudros made a novel view in his famous historiographical history of the Bourbon naval wars, which was extremely novel at that time, that the Bourbon naval wars were caused by fear between the two great powers, and that the 'Second Tessi Incident' was only an accident of necessity. ”

"Of course, in the past, in addition to the original 'accident theory' and the 'fear theory' of Hudros, there were also some strange theories, such as the 'divine gift' proposed by the archbishop of Armada, that is, the sea god thought that people were becoming more and more unreligious, so he wanted war to sweep the Bourbon Sea as a punishment for believers. ”

"In the Romantic era, the romantic little bourgeois came up with the 'understanding theory', which they believed that the reason for the outbreak of war was because Boris and Portlou had not been able to talk well, and that the tragedy of war would not have erupted if the two countries had talked to each other to improve understanding. ”

"In addition, the 'geographical divergence' was also all the rage, and the 'geographical divergence' was a descendant of the 'fear theory', which held that the two Bourbon descendants, Boris and Portlou, because one was located on the island and the other was on the mainland, coupled with the 'Erposian Ban', the geographical differences led to the growing differences between the two countries, the same but different differences, which eventually led to the Bourbon Naval War. ”

However, after entering the modern era, the Malthusian theory became popular, so modern scholars re-explored the causes of the Bourbon naval war according to the Malthusian theory. ”

"If you study ancient history carefully, you will find that wars are cyclical acts, with an average of 30 years of war, 30 years of rest, and 30 more years of fighting, and this benchmark fluctuates up and down. However, after the Revocation of the Prohibition of Eppos, the Sea of Bourbon was not at war for seventy years. ”

"The reason why there has been no war for seventy years is naturally because of the fear of each other among the two great powers, but this has also led to the problem of population overload between both countries, which is undoubtedly the case, and can be found in many sources nowadays. But in both countries, it is clear that Portlou's problem is more serious. ”

"Boris's well-developed seafaring industry, as well as the Anrola Passage, an overseas province, allowed Boris to send some of its surplus population to the wasteland to clear the wasteland and ease the pressure on the native population. ”

"But this is not the case in Portlou, and all the plains that are easy to develop from north to south have been developed, and the rest is blocked by mountains and forests. According to the available information, Portlou made great efforts to develop the tim guard forest area in the 'era of re-crisis', but unfortunately the results were lacking and the overruns were serious, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

"Portloo's population surplus problem is far more serious than that of Boris, which is why in 2056 the Potloo seems so belligerent – if there is no war, Portloo will be crushed by the huge population pressure in his own country. ”
